You're not alone.\nIn this episode, I talk with Victoria — Christian wife of 20 years and Charlotte Mason homeschool mom of 8 (ages 1 to 14) — about how she went from overwhelmed and quitting Convivial Circle to finding joy by learning to organize her attitude and tell herself a true story.Victoria shares honestly about being a self-described \"bad perfectionist\" and overanalyzer, wanting checklists and brain dumps to fix her home, and realizing what she really needed was heart work.\n We talk through dyslexia diagnoses in her oldest three, navigating homeschool burnout, trading Abeka-style control for connection, surviving newborn nausea and a nipping German Shepherd puppy, and why her laundry room became her sanctuary.\nYou'll hear how she uses alignment cards — Psalm 46:5 \"God is within her, she will not fall\" and Romans 12:12 — to preach truth when feelings aren't very smart, how overcoming perfectionism freed her to see people not checklists, and what repent, rejoice, repeat looks like day by day.If you're a christian homemaking  mom struggling with overwhelm, perfectionism, or negative self-talk, this conversation will help you handle the life God is sending you with joy, clarity, and responsibility.\nWhat true story do you need to tell yourself today? Let me know in the comments.\n0:00 A Conversation on Homemaking and Heart\n0:28 Meet Victoria: Balancing Eight Kids and Life\n1:43 The Struggle with Perfectionism\n7:12 Reframing Your Attitude with Truth\n11:54 Using Alignment Cards for Daily Focus\n17:20 Creating a Sanctuary in the Laundry Room","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WX5WTUqyTtAsJnVQiNFanppjmz2X_b7p_7UiXaIuuDU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kMGFi/NjEwZjdhMGUwMzZl/ZDk2NzA5YzQ3NWJl/ZDJlYS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
